Auto Configuration
The Auto Configuration feature enables the configuration of a switch automatically when the device is
turned on and, during the boot process, no configuration file is found in device storage. By
communicating with a DHCP server, obtains an IP address for the switch and an IP address for a TFTP
server. Auto Configuration attempts to download a configuration file from the TFTP server and install it
on the switch.
The DHCP server that the switch communicates with must provide the following information:
• The IP address and subnet mask (option 1) to be assigned to the switch.
• The IP address of a default gateway (option 3), if needed for IP communication.
• The identification of the TFTP server from which to obtain the boot file. This is given by any of the
following fields, in the priority shown (highest to lowest):
– The sname field of the DHCP reply.
– The hostname of the TFTP server (option 66). Either the TFTP address or name is specified—not
both—in most network configurations. If a TFTP hostname is given, a DNS server is required to
translate the name to an IP address.
– The IP address of the TFTP server (option 150).
– The address of the TFTP server supplied in the siaddr field.
– The name of the configuration file (boot file or option 67) to be downloaded from the TFTP
server. The boot file name must have a file type of *.cfg.
